After leaving Bill Bousman who was trying to refind the Tropical Kingbird, I followed Roland and Pat to the training nets area and pulled off of the road behind them. That was a huge mistake! My van was mired in mud. The situation looked hopeless but thanks to Pat and Roland and "Superman" Bill who came to my rescue I was able to escape from the quagmire. They are not just excellent birders but wonderful people. After that bit of excitement I stopped by San Tomas Aquino Creek on the way home to look for the American Bittern. Much of the vegetation was laying down as the result of the recent rain. I walked downstream from the Mission College bridge and did not see the bittern. I was ready to call it a day but decided to check the area again. Voila! The American Bittern was on the east bank about 150 yards downstream from the cement culvert in plain view. It seemed to be enjoying the sun oblivious to my presence. After 25 minutes of fluffing, preening, stretching, etc. it slinked down into the reeds out of sight. What a day it was!
